Was there an cron process or kernel.org that should be repacking the

No, too many people complained.

The git/cogito/sparse/linux-2.6 repositories all now have several 
thousand unpacked objects a piece, and it takes so long to do an http 
clone it's not even funny.

HARP: Please pack your repositories periodically.  PLEASE.  It matters 
especially now when kernel.org is down one server.

If your username is high on this list, it's imperative that you pack 
your trees:
